Saw it on the back of a football jersey...dont know who the player was. I thought it was kinda funny...and then Spike Lee made a movie with the same name that had Kerry Washington in it playing a lesbian and I decided to use it.

Mine is from the Diablo 2 era. I made a summoning necro whose name was "TheOverlord". Later I tried to condense it to Overlord, but shockingly that one is in use regularly. So I added a roman numeral I at the end. However OverlordI, I felt looks kind of lame, so I added some stupid capitalization to make OVerLoRDI.

During my CS:S days people would often pronounce it overlord-ee, or shorten it to ov-ee.

I drank a shitton of Mountain Dew in high school. Observe any HS freshman that's high on Mountain Dew for more than 5 minutes and I think the name will start to make sense.

King Crimson is absolutely one of my favorite bands. Been following them since 1969 and have all their albums.
My handle was crafted after the song 21st Century Schizoid Man.

Cherry Twist is a song by an electronic band called The Crystal Method.

I just found the name interesting and it stuck.

When I used to have more time to go camping I used to like taming red squirrels, and I have red hair. I used that name when I signed up on my first forum and it stuck.
